Silvia Marin

Silvia Marin (born 1967) is a flamenco dancer, who is best known for her work with her company called ''El Flamenco vive''. She was born in Italy, and was first exposed to flamenco dance when she was 20. This prompted her to move to Spain to study the art, and has since worked on stage, television, film and other projects. She founded El Flamenco Vive in 1997, to promote the dance to children, especially Spanish children. The company has performed at major cultural festivals in Europe and other countries such as the Festival Internacional Cervantino in Mexico. Her work has been recognized with various awards including the ''Premio Cultural a la Didáctica'' from the XLVII ''Festival Internacional del Cante de las Minas'' and the ''Onoreflicenza di Cavaliere Dell’ Ordine della Stella della Solidarietá Italiana''.
